Recenzii

Omar Akbar has done it again! Having had the pleasure of speaking to Omar on Naylor's Natter, I can confirm that his funny, direct style comes straight from his passion for teaching in his classroom. This book is perfectly timed as we see a resurgence in recruitment to what Omar describes as 'the best job in the world'. 'Teaching for Realists' will make your life easier. The book condenses lived experience into actions which, alongside continuing professional development, will make a big difference to your practice and your learners' progress. Omar has his finger on the pulse of educational developments. His pragmatic, self-effacing advice makes it enjoyable to imbibe his years of lived experience. Recommended for realists everywhere.
It's not often an edu-book makes me smile and even less often does one make me laugh. Omar's take on all things education is a reminder that we can take our business seriously without being serious all the time. From jammed photocopiers to rabbit hutches and frozen warts, there's much in here to reassure any colleague that we're all in in together and we all have "one of those days" regardless of how long we've been teaching.
Another fantastically written book by Omar in his usual direct, funny and unique writing style. It encapsulates the teaching profession perfectly, providing brilliant and realistic advice for teachers of all educational experience. A must read for any teacher and one we can't recommend highly enough. Truthful, funny and realistic - it's a book that captures teaching in the best possible way!
Teaching for Realists is like having a really wise, old teacher friend who tells you how it really is, makes you laugh but ultimately makes you realise that you will be OK. There is so much sense, wisdom and humour packed into this book! As Omar says, "You can make the education system work for you and your pupils". And this book shows you how. I wish I had read this book when I was new to teaching.
I love this book. It oozes empathy, experience, wit and wisdom. Omar writes as a passionate, committed and practicing teacher who knows what it is to struggle and yet still knows ours is the best job in the world. It poses lots of the questions that many new teachers are anxious to ask and reassures them that they are not alone, whilst providing tons of pragmatic advice about negotiating life in teaching.
A useful handbook for those embarking on their first year of teaching, exploring key aspects of the role.
